Recommendation 1

1. To help ensure children experience a clean and well maintained service, infection prevention and control measures should be improved. This should include, but not limited to, regular cleaning of spaces and ensuring there are enough resources to support effective handwashing. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which states that: 'I experience an environment that is well looked after with clean, tidy and well maintained premises, furnishings and equipment' (HSCS 5.22).
